To finish our discussion on the quantum outage probability, we study the performance of a quantum turbo code of rate \(R_Q=1/9\)  [1]} when operating under TVQC models of decoherence [2]} and we use the results obtained in the previous section for the quantum outage probability to benchmark its performance. Since the depolarizing channel model is the most popular error model when it comes to studying the performance of QECC families in the literature [3]}, we will also follow this trend herein. We consider the ADCTA depolarizing channel as the static channel of interest and the TVADCTA as its time-varying version. Considering that these decoherence models belong to the family of Pauli channels, the information theoretical benchmarks that will be considered are the hashing bound and the quantum hashing outage probability. The time-varying channels that we consider are the ones associated to the QA_C5 (\(c_v(T_1)\approx 26\%\) ) and QA_C6 (\(c_v(T_1)\approx 22\%\) ) superconducting qubit scenarios of [4]}. We select these scenarios in order to portray the performance that error correction codes would exhibit when operating on real hardware that exhibits time fluctuations [4]}, [2]}.
